Report of the Consulting Surgeons, THE PRESIDENTS STEADY PROGRESS. EXECUTIVE Mansion, July 16.—The following telegram was sent by the attending surgeons to the consulting surgeons this afternoon: “EXECUTIVE MANSION, 1 Hamilton and Dr. D. H. Agnew: The President progresses steadily towards convalesence. Dur- ing the last 24 hours he has had but one-eighth of a grain of sulphate of morphia (in a single hypodermic injection at bed time). He slept weil and this morning expresses himself as feel- ing quite easy. The qunia is continued in three grain doses three times daily. He is taking a still larger proportion of solid food, with more relish than hitherto, and some old Port wine has been substituted for the p.m.—To Dr, F. H: | Concerning Guitean. A TALK WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY—SIMI- LARITY BETWEEN THE CRIMES OP BOOTH AND GUITEAU—GUITEAU AS A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER. ‘ A Star reporter found Col. Corkhill in his office this morning, tearing up and throwing away a basketful of cards received from the myriad of newspaper reporters and correspon- dents who have swarmed about his office during the last fortnight. There was also an immense accuurulation of postal cards and letters waiting to winnowed. “You must have been bothered a great deal?” remarked Tre Star. “T don't cali ita bother. It isa fair showing of the great interest felt by everybody in this crime,” replied Col. Corkhill. “You have never had such an experience be- fore in your term of service?” said Tue Sra, in- quisitively. “There neyer has been such an occurrence in this country since Lincoln was assassinated. In that case the assassin was killed when captured. The trial wasby a military commission. There neyer has been such a thing in the history of the country asa trial by a civil court of aman who attempted to assinate the Presi- dent. When Mr. Lincoln was assassinated, you will remember, Booth was killed by Boston Cor- bett. My maif,” continued Col. Corkhill, look- ing over the heap of letters and postal cards on his desk, ‘is very large every day from all parts of the country, einbracing suggestions from law- yers as to the method of trial, suggestions of citizens as to what ought to be done, from per- sons giving noticethat they have known Guiteau, and relating instances of his life. There is an | anxiety all over the country to show the man up.” “* Have you settled the point about the double indictment of Guiteau?” “‘Tam not prepared to say whether two sep- arate offences can be made out of the two shots Tokay, its flavor being preferred by the pa- tient. ’ The febrile rise yesterday afternoon was less than on any day since you saw him. At 7 o'clock p. m. his Re was 98; temperature, 98.5; respiration, 20. ‘This morning, at 8:30, pulse, 90; temperature, 98.5; respiration, 18. At 1pm. pulse, 94; temperature, 98.4; respiration, 18. fereatter, our daily dispatch to you will be sent after the evening consultation. (Signea) D. W. Briss, J. K. BARNES, J. J.

I have given no definite opinion and made no announcement that I in- tended to present him on two separate charges The gravity of the crime is so great and the pun- ishment s0 Inadequate that these suggestions have grown out of the situation.” BOOTH AND GUITEAU. “ There is,” continued Col. Corkhill, “a great similarity between this man’s crime and Booth’s crime.

He still suffers pail it is not so acute as it has been. Mrs. G has been in the room with him since breakfast this morning fanning him and sometimes talking a little with him. LATEST—THE PRESID! This afternoon has been a EASY. alittle sleep. ‘At one time he had his eyes closed, | and appeared to be sleeping. Suddenly he | opened them, and said to Col. Rockwell, who | was by the bed: You thought [ was asleep, but Twas not.” His breathing is perfectly free and | easy. | On the Happy Road THE PRESIDENT F. Mr. Crump said this morning that the Presi- dent passed 2 most comfortable night. He had good healthy sleep. He was not as restless when awake as heretofore. In fact, it was the night | of a sick man on the happy read to recovery. | This morning Mr. Crump squeezed the piece 0 a steak over-a prece of toast until the toast was | thoroughly saturated, and gave it to the Presi dent. He ate it heartily and with great relish. ES) ly afterwards Mr. Crump brought up | a piece of nicely broiled tenderloin steak, and | gave it to the President. He chewed it like a | man with a good appetite. Just then Mrs. Gar- | field came in. “Can I swallow the meat?” the President asked. “Yes,” replied Mrs. Garfield. “The doctors say it will not hurt you now.” The | President ate and swallowed the whole piece of | steak. He enjoyed it greatly. This morning the President is better than ever. He looks better, and is more like himself than at any time since the wound was received. This morning’s bul- letin was very encouraging. For the third con- secutive morning the temperature is normal, 4nd albothersymptomsare correspondingly favor- ‘able. In consequence of which but two bulletins will be issued daily. THE CIRCULAR TO THE CABINET MINISTERS. The President's private secretary this morning sent the following circular note to the members of the Cabinet: The afternoon febrile rise, which” has been growing less during the past three days, and which reached almost a minimum point yester- day, has entirely disappeared this morning, ing his pulse 90 and temperature and respiration normal. The daily examination of the wound causes the President much less incon- venience than formerly—thus showing that his system is in a healthier condition, and much better prepared to resist the shock of dressing. The President passed a very comfortable night, sleeping well and taking his nourishment with & relish when awal ing. One of the best indica- tions of his improved condition is the return of his appetite. He is manifesting no little interest in beef steak and similar viands. Very respectfully, Kind Words, THE LADIES OF FREDERICKSBURG, VA. The following was received at the White House to-day: “The ladies of Fredericksburg, Va., fecling drawn to you and Mrs. Garfleld in’ a way which only a woman's heart can feel, ask leave to express to you both their sincerest sympathies im your su ‘ing, and their heartfelt congratula- tions that the happy end appears so bright.

Murray, of Utah: “God preserve the President and bless you and our country.” SYMPATHY PROM TEXAS BRETHRE The following telegram was also ree day from Bonham, Texas: Resolred, That wi ples in Texas, now in se to Brother James of the Chureh of Ch J. S. Brown. ‘ed to- the state convention of hful member dent of the and Pr United States, our heartfelt sympathy in his in- fliction, and express the prayer and hope that in the good providence of God he may be restored y comfortable | one for the President. He did not talk any, but | | remained easily and quietly on his bed. He took | | ass: plation for some time, and both were seeking a | public place to commit the crime. Each pre- pared carefully weeks before a written state- | ment and defence of his crime. Inthe one case, Booth delivered his statement to an actor named Matthews,, who was in such dread of having it | in his possession that he read it and burned it. | Booth left his statement with Mr. Matthews, to | be delivered to John F. Coyle, then editor of the | National Intelligencer, and desired it to be pub- | lished to the country. This man Guitean had the same ambition to have the reasons for his crime published, and go far as I have been | able to ascertain both statements are similar in j character. Mr. Booth rezarded the assassina- tion of Lincoln as necessary to the restoration of the supremacy ofthe south in the control of he national government t that so fas Mr. Lincoln was president, the south would continue to be oppressed. Guiteau re- garded the assassination of Mr. Garfield as se- curing peace and harmony in the republican party. Guiteau followed Gen. Garfield in his carriage; Booth followed Lincoln in his carriage. Booth’s idea was to shoot Mr. Lincoln in some public place, and hehad no desireto conceal from the public the fact that he committed the crime. suiteau’s idea was exactly the same. He ex- Mr. Garticid in church, in the ence of a thousand people, spring into a car- and ride dramatically tothe jail. Booth inated Mr. Lincoln in a theater, eprang upon the staze. and had his. means of escape | after appearing in the presenee of 2,000 people: One was an actor, accustomed to the theater; it | 1 was the arena of most public significance to him. The other was a man aceustomed to speak in churches—on religious subjects—and to dis- cuss theological points; and the church was in his mind, the most conspicnous place for the public commission of this crime. Both of them | were men of inordinate vanity. There is another coincidence. When Booth was cap-| tured in the barn, in his diary, he says, that there was “very little left me to clear ny name. | |and the government will nbt allow it to be winted.” And so Guiteau complains that the government will not allow his defence to be printed, in almost exactly the same language. GUITEAU AS A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER. The reporter asked the district attorney what truth there was in the published statement that Guiteau yesterday sent for him and undertook to prove that the disability of the President as contemplated in the Constitution was complete, and that it was imperitive in Vice President Arthur to assume the executive office. ‘There is nothing in that at all,” replied the official. “One day I was at the jail. He asked me how the President was. Itold him I had not learned. He asked me if I had considered the constitu- tionality of the question. He said that under the provisions of the Constitution the Vice President was to succeed in the case of the President's inability to act. He then asked tor a copy of the Constitution, but I believe did not get it.” 5 “Does he know that the President live: “He has not been permitted to see the papers, but he can tell from his surrounding—by seeing the flags flying and not hearing the bells toll— that he lives.” Guiteau and His Correspondents, SOME WRITERS WHO WANT TO “GET THE DROP” ON HIM, AND ONE WHO WANTS TO EXHIBIT HIM. The following are choice extracts from some of the letters for Guiteau which have fallen into District Attorney Corkhill’s hands. One signed “Hero,” and postmarked Cincinnati, says: “Charlie, old boy! How do you like prison hash? It is not too rich for your blood, is it? I think so much of you that I would like to spring the trap that would cause your sweet spirit to sail toward warmer climes.” E: ‘ion eoldier writes from Athea, Md., to say: “You are too onery to live and you are sentenced for a term of years to the penitentiary. When your term ex- pires and you remain in this country twenty-four hours after, I or some of my pards will get the drop on ‘you, and don’t. you forget it.” David Brainard, of 95 Milk street, Boston, writes: “I should like to make contract to exhibit you in alf the principal cities of the country, and will guarantee you $200 per week, and will also give the same amount per week to the President’s femily. Eee the District attorney if he wi low ceep you in a strong re.” Ex-C. 8.

Senator, to succeed | Mr. Platt, on the 48th ballot. Mr. Miller is 43 | years of aze, and he served one term in Con- gress. He served in the war as a lieutenant. He is a manufacturer of paper. Speaker Sharpe made a speech in the Joint convention, announcing that he shall accept the | result of the caucus that nominated Judge Lap- | ham and Mr. Miller, and that he shall, when his | | name is called, vote for them. This settles the | long contest. Speaker Sharpe took but two | with him in his change to Lapham.

Speaker Sharpe rose and asked permission to make a | statement, to which there was no objection. He | then proceeded to detail the failure to secure a | caucus at the start, and referred to the one called | by a majority of the republicans. He acknowl edged its authority, as it emanated from a ma- jority. He had delayed action in accordance with the result of that caucus because he saw in the election of the candidates it nominated a great danger. He now warned the conyention | of that danger, saying the democrats of the U.S. | Senate would do what they could to make the | election futile. He concluded by saying that when his name was called _he would vote for El- bridge P. Lapham instead of for Roscoe Conk- ling. [Applause.] The vote was then proceeded with.

Senator Halbert when his name was called denounced the action of Senator Forster, and | said Speaker Sharpe had made the greatest mis- take of his life. He concluded by voting for | Rose oe Conkling. Senator Strahan said he was not yet ready to admit that he lad been doing wrong. He was ready to accept the will of the majority, but it must come through the regular medium.

Rome, July 16. men e been fined and imprisoned for disturbing the funeral procession of Pope Pius 1X. On Tuesday last there was great disorder at the trial of the prisoners, and the court was cleared twice. The sentences were received with a storm of shouts and hisses. A crowd of people, numbering between two and three thousand, cheered the prisoners on com- ing out of the court. and followed them, shout- ing “Down with the clericals.” The soldiers dispersed the mob, which reassembled at the office of one of the clerical newspapers, tore down the bulletin, and started for the railway station to protest to the King and Queen, who were arriving from Naples, but a cordon of po- lice prevented a demonstration. THE PRISONER IN THE VATICAN. A dispatch from Rome to the Times says: Cardinal Jacobini, papal secretary of state, in receiving the ambassadors and ministers ac- credited to the vatican, told them that the Pope had instructed him to say that it was the Pope's personal desire that they shoukl inform their governments how deeply pained he was at the insult offered the body of Pope Pius IX. That henceforth he must consider himself, more than ever, a prisoner in the Vatican, and as prevented from attending any religious service in any of ; the icas_ of Rome. At the same time Cardinal Jacobini read the draft of a cireu- lar to the Papal nuncios abroad, with instruc- | tions to leave a copy in the hands of the res tive ministers of foreign affairs. The correspon- dent says that the part of the Pope's message relating to religious services in Basilicas con- firms what hae been confidently asserted in high ierical circles, that had the removal o. the body of Pius IX. been effected peaceably the Pope would have found an early occasion for passing the doors of the Vatican.

HE HAS LOST INTEREST IN POLITICS. Ex-Senator Conkling said to-day that he had come to Washington on business, and that his visit here had nothing whatever to do with poli- tics, either directiy or indirectly. He said he might be here one day longer or several days, he could not tell yet how long. Some of those who are on friendly terms with ex-Senator Conk- ling say that his trip to Washington ison busi- ness connected with the Hudson river tunnel; that Senator Jones, of Nevada, has put a great deal | of capital into that enterprise. and is, in fact, one of the principal stockholders; that Mr. Conk. ling is Senator Jones’ counsel, and in anticipa- tion of some litigation in regard to the tunnel, Mr. Conkling is here consulting with Senator Jones, and hunting up some lezal authorities and references. Ex-Senator Conkling, in his | talk, it is said, referred to politicts as a subject | in which he felt very little interest. select Bn eases com., 423ga42X; do.

At3o'clock this morning, Dr. Swift reported | that he had discovered the matter inthe con- | Stellation Auriza, and that it is quite bright be- | ing larger and more luminous than the one dis- covered May Ist by Dr. Swift. Its centre is strongly condensed and from the motion it is ap- parently very slow. It cannot be ascertained whether it is going directly toward or from the earth. The comet is telescopic. This is the fourth comet discovered since May Ist. Dr. Swift thinks from the present position of the comet it is the expected comet of 1812. It ie moving very slowly toward the northwest.
